Abstract

A method for intelligently routing customer communications to an agent includes receiving a customer's request to initiate communications. A modality of the requested communications is identified and a profile of the customer is obtained. An agent model is generated for each modality supported by each agent. An agent model is selected from a set of agent models for each of a set of agents, based upon the identified modality. The profile of the customer is compared with the selected model for each of the set of agents to determine a best match. A communications connection is established between the customer and the best matched agent.
